Since you are running OEM 19s, your tire sizes should be 225/45/19 in front and 245/40/19 in the rear. Some great all season tires are the michelin pilot sport a/s 3. There's lots of reviews on tire rack, as well as other all season tires. So read up on all of them and just go with your best judgement and budget.

You can go wider, and unless you're driving in freezing weather a lot or taking you car up to the ski slopes often, I'd look into summer tires, they perform better in wet & dry. The only real downside is they wear faster, and lose grip below freezing.

That said you can run a 245/40/19 front & 275/35/19 rear w/ the staggered OEM coupe rims, it will feel more planted w/ the wider tires and give it a nice stance.

Welcome to the site BTW!

I had 225's in the front and 255s in the back on my stocks.... They were nice, but if I had bought tires for them again I would've gone a little wider.... Love my 285's on my vossens I have now! Lol

the 245/40 and 275/40 combo is very common and works fine. Lots of great sport a/s tires to choose from like the Conti DWS. Michelin also has the Sport AS3 and Bridgestone's RE970 AS is a good choice also.
